Description

Malco's VFN2 Vinyl Fence Picket & Rail Notcher makes raised tabs in the end sections of vinyl rails and pickets. The louver-shaped tabs create a durable lock that prevents the rail or picket from pulling out of the post or rail slot. The VFN1 model creates 3/4" (19 mm) wide locking tabs for larger rails.

  • Vinyl rail notcher
Worked very well. Malco always good tools. Little pricey, but competitive.

  • Works great and durable.
Worked with some other notchers and these work just as well. These type of tools are a bit pricy if you ask my opinion, but this was the least expensive place I could find them. This is the perfect sized notcher for the rails that have the large or small inner channels. It fits both, but it still wide enough to hold the rails in place. If I need another pair, I will check for these first. ... show more

  • Straightforward to use
I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use! We never built a vinyl fence before but felt it would be necessary at some point in the construction. It came in to use in short order as we learned how to make small adjustments to our design. Makes very quick work of it that would otherwise be a time sucking effort at best to try and replicate factory cuts. We trimmed the board and a minute later we were moving on. My hands are small and strength is not what they used to be but this was not a challenge at all. The price is justified in my opinion and it is highly unlikely that you can build a sizable fence without it. ... show more

  • It punctures a little to strong
It does what’s supposed to but it’s a little to strong and sometimes breaks the wing it creates. I would recommend a circler puncture best.

  • but the handles are a bit short to give good leverage. Would do better with longer handles
Did the job, but the handles are a bit short to give good leverage. Would do better with longer handles. You have to squeeze pretty hard to get it through the vinyl. I found that by heating the rails with a hair dryer made it easier and also prevented breakage.

  • Must have tool if you have a vinyl horse fence
This tool will save you time and money if you have a vinyl fence with slats that needs repair. It will notch the fence ends so that they will stay in place. Makes repair of fence simple.

  • Tested on broken rail--worked like a charm
Tested on broken rail--worked like a charm. Cuts like a knife in butter. Doesn't require lots of hand strength. Then cut slots on new rail and installed with no problem.

  • Quality Tool
Really well designed and made. True professional quality that will give years of reliable service. Bought it to enable installation of a fence system I had to install on one of my projects. Exactly what I needed. Exactly as advertised
